For a deeper flavor, try using a mix of apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp and Granny Smith. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference depending on the sweetness of your apples and strawberries. If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can substitute 2 cups of frozen cranberries for a similar tartness. To achieve a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to gently puree the applesauce after cooking. This applesauce pairs wonderfully with roast pork, vanilla ice cream, or as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal.
